Piano Bench, Casa Villegas 2012

Yesterday, the parents of two of my close friends celebrated their 25th anniversary.  In tribute to their special celebration, this bench was taken inside their home on their piano bench.  If you look closely, you can see their wedding picture hanging right above my head.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Villegas, one of the cutest couples I know!

Knott's Berry Farm Bench, Buena Park circa 1978

  My aunt forwarded me this picture earlier in the week for my Bench Collection and I absolutely love it!  It is of my uncle and my grandpa while out on a family trip to Knott's Berry Farm.  My uncle was probably about 9 years old in this picture and I love that he's sitting on the mannequin's lap.  I love looking at old photo's like this of my aunts and uncles when they were younger, but especially of my grandparents.  My grandpa still looks like he did in this picture and he you can bet that his style hasn't changed much even now at 77!

Old Town San Diego Bench, San Diego 2009

The picture that started it all...

Back in 2009, while on a getaway trip with my boyfriend, we were visiting San Diego and I came across this bench.  I sat down on it and my boyfriend snapped this shot of me.  Every time I sat on a bench during that trip my boyfriend would take a photo and at the end of the trip we laughed about how many bench shots we actually got.  Little did we know what those few benches would develop into. From then on, we started our collection of benches from various cities and places that we have traveled to together. It has become something fun we like to do together and are always on the hunt for a good bench to add to the collection.
